That sounds about right. You don't have to be spot-on accurate,
though. If it needs more liquid when you look at it in the morning,
then you can add more liquid.

Until it's done Seriously, you can eat the soaked grains uncooked
if you really want (though I do find the amaranth sticks in my teeth a
bit much when I eat it like that), so the length of time you cook it
for depends on how much you want it cooked. Cook it a bit and then
try it. You may like it just barely softened, or cooked to mush. If
you want an educated but untested guess on an upper limit, I doubt it
would change much past 8-10 minutes' microwaving, assuming a modern
microwave and sufficient liquid.
